Don't mind me......just feeling sort of loopy today. And there I go, replying to myself again!

Sitting here at my desk, waiting for some work to do. Awfully nice problem to have! And I leave work in 2 1/4 hours.

Must be nice. Maybe he forgot you were there?

Look your ticker changed to 13 months 2 weeks.

Very possible! Or maybe he forgot where he is!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Those tickers can't change fast enough.

Have fun being forgotten about!

Dh is on the list.

Always do spray tan here. I do it twice b4 we cruise.

Noel: Does the second time make it last longer? Do you do the booths, home stuff or go in and have it sprayed on by someone?
COLOR]

Just have to tell you all - we're going on the Dec 2nd 4 night Wonder!!! It is on hold at the moment and we will pay the deposit tonight!! I wish some of you were going to be onboard though.

How wonderful. Enjoy...it will make these next 400+ days go by much quicker having a DCL fix in between I am sure.

Morning all...I am taking a half day today and DH and I are going to see the Indians/Devil Rays game...hopefully it will be a nice day out. The girls have pictures at school today and Samantha wanted to wear her Sleeping Beauty costume...luckily Haley has one that matches.

Oh, you will have to post those! How cute

Now, off to continue catching up....
Can anyone tell me why the DIS goes down every day and why it goes down at random times? Was all set to do some surfing last night about kids clubs and it was down from 9-1030 (PST) when I finally gave up and went to read. I was just wondering

Hi guys,

I wanted to drop a post in here because I have no idea when I will get the opportunity to catch up now , or post . . .

Some of you are aware that we lost my mom the week leading into our cruise with the “Geeks” this last December. I got mom to the hospital the Saturday before our cruise, and by Sunday evening she had passed away. We ended up delaying our trip by a day, and going on the cruise with a heavy heart, which was uplifted by all of our friends here.

Well, yesterday I got a call from where my dad goes for physical therapy that he had passed out while there, and they called 911. So I spent a good part of the day and evening at the hospital yesterday. Dad is in good spirits, and is stable, but they have discovered a clot in each leg, low blood count, and fluid on his heart and his lungs (congestive heart failure). He is now in the coronary unit of our local hospital.

I am optimistic that dad will be fine, and that he is under good care.

We are hopeful for a good prognosis, and hopeful to still leave for a week on Friday.

John, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Sounds like he is in great care. Sending lots of and positive thoughts your way.

You know, I've been lucky and have never been on yet at the time it goes down. Haven't experienced it. Bummer for everybody else though!

We have to be careful about our Harry Potter talk here after the book comes out because PJ is going to have to wait to read it. Don't want any spoilers coming out here. Maybe we will have to sneak off to the shipofthieves.com to chat.

There's another whole theory about Dumbledore not really being dead, but it's pretty far fetched. It has something to do with the Avada Kedavra curse that Snape used. Suposedly, every other time it is used in the books, there's a flash of green and the victim falls down dead immediately. But when Snape uses it, Dumbledore goes flying backward over the edge of the tower. Theories abound that Snape or Dumbledore silently did a different spell and he's not really dead. I think it's wishful thinking, but I would be nice. JK Rowling puts so many clues in her books that I totally miss until I go back and reread after having read the next books. She does put in a lot of stuff about silent spells and mind reading (legilemency??) in book 6, so maybe... We'll just have to wait and see.

Oh, all these theories I had never thought about. Since I am out of books right now, I think I need to restart the whole series and read them all again before July. I might catch some of these clues. We will all have to post when we are done with the last book so we don't spoil it for anyone. Last time, I got the book at midnight, and finished it by 6 am (yup, didn't sleep, had to finish!). Then I was sad because I knew I had to wait forever for the next book.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I am way behind also as DH lost his aunt to cancer last week and the memorial service is today.

Wamest wishes and Regards,
Noel

Noel, to you and your family. So sorry to hear about your loss.

It goes down every night for a little while for maintenance. Last night that was weird. They usually will let us know if it is during prime use time. I think it is usually at like 1:00 a.m. our time.

Harry Potter

That is something I need to get into. I have never read a book. My DD has only read one. I will have to start reading them.


Aruba

Has anyone thought about what they are going to do in Aruba? Did the other repos stop there?

You know, I've been lucky and have never been on yet at the time it goes down. Haven't experienced it. Bummer for everybody else though!

I am held up by the down time every morning. For us it is about 8.20am. We are usually 8 hours in front of you CA folk, but till Saturday night when our clocks go forward you are only 7 hours behind. It goes down for about 30 mins and then is very patchy for another 30 mins.

It happened last night right after you said you were going to bed. I was right in the middle of reading a trip report and I went to go to the next page and there you go. It stinks when that happens.

Yes I almost said except for you U.K. folks. That stinks for you guys. I wonder whose time the server is working on?

What can I say? I just have great timing! But what happens? Do you get a blank screen or an error message or something?

*singing* "Aruba, Jamaica, ooooooooh I wanna take ya....." Oh great....look what you started! Now Kokomo will be running through my head all day! I LOVE that song!

If you go to post or refresh then you will get a database error statement.

Ah....I see (said the blind man). Thanks. Now I'll know what to look for.

Well, it's 2:30...that means quitting time for me! WOOHOO! Off to doctor and then to pick Tyler up. Later!

Well, it is in the night for all of you over there so I guess it is a good time.
